Life Changes and Perceptions of Life and Death among Older Men and Women.

Keith, Pat M.

Journal of Gerontology, v34 n6 p870-78 Nov 1979

Examined whether life changes are associated with concurrent life and death attitude types among older adults. Individuals were identified as positivists, negativists, activists, and passivists. Some patterns varied by sex. Those who experienced discontinuity were frequently negativists or passivists, while continuity tended to characterize positivists and activists. (Author/BEF)
